newb. with 1772 ??s
I have a few questions concerning a 1772 Cub.
This tractor was my fathers, who unfortunately passed away 4 years ago. It is still at my mothers home. I use it weekly to mow her lawn. I have to say at first I was not a big fan off the diesel. I hated the exhaust whiff you get every once in a while, espesially on a hot, humid day. Plus, to me, the tractor mows slow. ( I have one of those "Green things" .. a 425 all wheel steer) .. btw, I had a tired ol' 149 Cub before that which I gave to a friend... dont think it ever got fixed...
Anyway, back to the 1772...I figured we would sell it when my mom moves to a smaller home someday, but after using it for the last 4 years, I have a new appreciation for this thing! My 425 has the 20hp Kawi engine... and while it might be faster mowing, has NO WHERE near the power/torque of the "little" Kubota 17.
I have a couple of questions, when I go to look up parts anywhere, it is hard to find reference to the model 1772. Is there a reason? I dont think they made this model too many years?
Also, I'm guessing this option is kind of rare? It has a PTO and 3 pt hitch. Can anyone help me with what the PTO speed is ? I would love to find a tiller for it, but am guessing it is kind of a loner? Anyone know what size tiller it can handle? Where to find one for sale?
Something tells me when mom moves and wants to sell the 1772, the Cub will be keeping my 425 company in the barn!
Guess thats it for now.. any info at all would be great!
Thanks!!!
Steve
